Appium Server Connection | Leapwork Docs

The Appium Server connection is used for automating mobile testing on iOS and Android. It drives native mobile applications using WebDriver.

To use this connection type, you must have an Appium server installed on a host that is accessible from Leapwork.

Note: This feature can be accessed by Leapwork Admins only.
